2021 Social Studies Field Test (Tentative)
The Office of Assessment and Accountability (OAA) is collecting the interest of each district to be included in the social studies field test. By Monday, March 22, please indicate whether your district would like to participate in the Tentative 2021 Social Studies Field Test at Social Studies Field Test Participation.
Participation in the field test is by district. If the district chooses to participate, all schools with grades 5, 8 and 11 will be included.
The online field test is tentatively scheduled during the district’s last 14-day test window. A representative sample of students is needed to conduct the field test. If that representative sample is not achieved, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) may need to seek specific participants.
